Fiber- A Solid Ingredient

Planning a product aimed at the nutrition-minded? Consider adding a significant amount of grains, which are rich in dietary fiber!

Researchers from the National Cancer Institute in Rockville just released a new study examining the relationship between dietary fiber intake and mortality from specific causes. They were able to conclude that dietary fiber intake significantly lowered risk of death in men and women. More specifically, fiber lowered the risk of death from cardiovascular, infectious, and respiratory disease by 24% to 56% in men and 34% to 59% in women.

Spruce up your fiber-rich snack by making it flavorful and eye appealing! Biosun distributes flavors for one of the world's largest flavor producers, as well as a vast array of natural and artificial colors.
